@JimSchaefer , doesnt he have to declare who paid for family trip to trial? FOIA might be on the horizon??

by kwame kwame kwips2/26/2013 5:43:38 PM

Possibly. But only if it was a gift.

by Jim Schaefer2/26/2013 5:43:50 PM

OOPS! OK now look at the avatar.

by Kwames Belt2/26/2013 5:43:52 PM

@Kwame's Belt: Your avatar isn't showing up on my screen, but I believe you would never let Kwame (or at least his pants) down.

by DoubleTake2/26/2013 5:43:55 PM

Are they using the same allegations for several charges in hope of getting some type of conviction rather than all or none?

by Michigan522/26/2013 5:43:59 PM

So far it's just raining here in A2.

by Throw Away The Key2/26/2013 5:44:06 PM

Jim: Have you seen the Ash down there?

by Ben S.2/26/2013 5:44:07 PM

Indeed. Just a few minutes ago.

by Jim Schaefer2/26/2013 5:44:16 PM

Probably not Kwips, I have more important things to do, like follow this blog!

by Roscoe2/26/2013 5:44:17 PM

Seriously... there's another Kilpatrick son out there? Would he then not be 'The Chosen One?'

by Kilp2/26/2013 5:44:20 PM

Kwame and cronies have plenty money.... at least $80 million! Has anyone asked where the money is?

by Detroit deserves better2/26/2013 5:44:23 PM

@RedWingsFan - LOL. Yes, and you can find them under "hästkött" in the IKEA catalog.

by DoubleTake2/26/2013 5:44:28 PM

Jim, is your book going to be turned into a Broadway Musical? Heard an author speak last week about his book. The movie deal was held up because there could be problems with casting it as a Broadway Musical. And if book was made into a movie he could only get two tix to Academy Awards. Would those be issues with your book?

by Michigan522/26/2013 5:44:32 PM

Obvious by the bloggville citizens, (myself included), waiting for a final verdict is a bit unnerving! My mantra: patience--patience--groan--oops--patience--patience--- sigh! LOL!

Good one, Double Take. OH NO!! Death Storm starting with rain here in Grosse Pointe! Thanks for the warning, Aretha! Batten down the hatches! Prepare the snow blower!

by BonBon2/26/2013 5:44:53 PM

by kwame kwame kwips2/26/2013 5:44:57 PM

The Feds will go on him til they get him.

by Detroit deserves better2/26/2013 5:45:02 PM

I'm late, need to catch up, Hi Jim

by Oreo2/26/2013 5:45:04 PM

@CLM how is it you are biting your nails while Kwame is smiling, tweeting and relaxed?

by waldo2/26/2013 5:45:06 PM

Maybe the magical Michelin Man paid a visit to Carlita and kids

by KO KK OK?2/26/2013 5:45:11 PM

@DD thanks for your insight, so this horse can be ridden again down the road...in a civil lawsuit to reclaim damages.. although if no money to be found might not be worth the time to file the lawsuit..

by kwame kwame kwips2/26/2013 5:45:15 PM

If nothing else, the jury appears to be doing a diligent job.

by Downriver Don2/26/2013 5:45:21 PM

@Jim, in case you forgot you PB&J sandwich today, my order of Swedish meatballs from Ikea arrived today.

by thepatzone2/26/2013 5:45:23 PM

Jim, love your coverage of the trial! Have you ever passed the time during deliberations by rummaging through the Kwame Sutra (available at www.kwamesutra.com for just $7.99 + S&H)? I understand it also makes a great Easter gift ...

by misterelrick2/26/2013 5:45:41 PM

Nerdy - PMinNWLP is in parking lot at Joann fabrics. Maybe he can have his wife look for bargains

by Michigan522/26/2013 5:45:56 PM

@BobBon - actually from Atwood's Lobster, Spruce Head. Just south of Rockland. Know about Beals, tho. Southwest Hbr. nice country

by MaineMan2/26/2013 5:46:00 PM

Oh what's up with this jury?" "I'm not a guilty man." "Send lawyers guns and money." The Sh*t has hit the fan.

by Speedy52/26/2013 5:46:03 PM

Do the RICO counts line exactly with the individual charges?

by Neil J. Lehto2/26/2013 5:46:08 PM

Not sure what you mean, Neil J. Lehto.

by Jim Schaefer2/26/2013 5:46:22 PM

Jim is it true that FUNNYORDIE website offered you big bucks to shut down this blog b/c of competition it's creating?

by JuryQuest2/26/2013 5:46:24 PM

Not big enough, apparently.

by Jim Schaefer2/26/2013 5:46:35 PM

Jury leaning yes on extortion, otherwise, why ask the diff?

by Ex Detroiter2/26/2013 5:46:39 PM

Hey, as an American of Swedish ancestry I have to say IKEA's Swedish meatballs are delish!!! Neigh!! clop, clop!!

by swede guy2/26/2013 5:46:43 PM

It makes sense, yes. And thanks

by Michigan522/26/2013 5:46:47 PM

Where's the lightning?

by SparkyJ2/26/2013 5:46:49 PM

Hey MAR BEAR (Mary W). You work in Farmington Hills? I am trying to work out the cryptology!

by Kwame_mugabe2/26/2013 5:46:52 PM

How many Bloggers think we will be blogging when the Verdict is reached?

by Mini2/26/2013 5:46:55 PM

@Jim your description of RICO seemed right on to me

by Michael2/26/2013 5:47:00 PM

@nerdychic Well, PMinNWLP is sitting outside of JoAnn fabric in Traverse City... so there you go!

by Kilp2/26/2013 5:47:03 PM

Any ideas about KK's father being the one who instigated the whole scam? Seems to me he influenced the deals and pulled sonny along.

by Detroit deserves better2/26/2013 5:47:09 PM

That's not how it was described in testimony.

by Jim Schaefer2/26/2013 5:47:28 PM

But they did cast him as a player in the enterprise.

by Jim Schaefer2/26/2013 5:47:51 PM

Government says he orchestrated meetings of the group, among other things.
